Snowman pancake anyone?

Moving on up...

Last weekend we helped to move my Grandpa to his new apartment in Manhattan. He graciously offered to let us have his old "divan". SHOCKINGLY, noone else in my family wanted it....

I don't know why...Jordan and I LOVE IT!! It fits perfectly in our den!! I mean what's not to love??? It folds into a bed...

and you can hide things in it..

p.s. Don't mind that puny Christmas tree in the background...that is just or den tree...we do have a real tree in our living room...

Yes.... Yes I am...

oh what a beautiful morning.....

Living in a big kid house has allowed us to put up outdoor Christmas lights this year.

Andy is, of course, in charge of the timer for turning the lights on and off at night. I learned this morning that at some point he discovered our timer allows you to program multiple timings into it...and the lights can remain on for as little as 15 minutes increments.

He has now programmed our lights not only come on at night, but they also for 15 minutes just before 7 AM (when Andy leaves for work) and again at 7:40 (when I leave for work)...

Our poor neighbors probably think we are having some sort of electrical surges...

Andy has been campaigning to go to an instrumental Christmas music concert....I am not a fan of instrumental Christmas music...I mean maybe yes one song tucked in here and there is fine...but a whole concert of it...no thanks!

So I received this email from Andy today:

Subject: Christmas cheer tonight

Message: What better way to help us get more in the Christmas spirit by going to the KSU Jazz Ensemble concert tonight at 7:30 at the Union? Sounds pretty good to me? What do you think? Do you want to have Christmas spirit? Not going to this is basically being anti-Christmas, do you want to be anti-Christmas? Being anti-Christmas is basically rejecting Jesus. Do you want to reject Jesus? Sweet little baby Jesus? On his birthday? Sweet, little, 7lb 10oz baby Jesus? I didn’t think so. Yay! I’m glad you want to go to this concert!

pink is my favorite color...

Don't worry mom and dad...it was just the primer...

too bad we didn't do this project on Valentine's Day - - that would have been perfect!!

Wordizzle from Baby J: All I want for Christmas

Dear Santa,

let me tell you what I'd like for Christmas....

I know it's cliche...but my two front teeth would be pretty awesome...I mean I have one..but the other would really be good too...

And also, probably this paint can....

Love,

J-Dizzle

keep it clean, folks!

This photo was taken of an office down the hall (through espionage - thanks Brandi!)...

This is not meant to be a judgement on this office -- this person is very busy and has a lot of paperwork passing through their office...but please draw your attention to the can of Pledge sitting in the middle of the ..uh... stuff....

where exactly is the person planning on dusting? and at what point did they think..."you know what would help...if I dusted.."
